or just make a minivan that doesn't have the rear end fall the fuck out of

Or, just don't build minivans anymore because you can't build one that isn't shit...... oh, wait....... and don't build cars anymore while you're at it because your warranty costs are so high on them you can't make money on those either regardless of country of origin.

My coworker said he went to the dealer and they changed what they're covering since they sent that letter. They told him it is 100% covered because everyone, like you, said they're just going to keep driving their car because they're not going to pay for a rental. So make an appt with your local dealer and they should confirm that and set you up.

I just got off the phone with my local dealer. Ford is covering the cost of the rental. But, because of July 4th week, no rentals are available. So, I'll check back on July 9th to get the process started. The service writer did confirm that parts will be available in late September/early October. We'll see what happens.

Jesus, say what you will about the cost of maintenance with German cars but you're *generally* not dealing with the car rusting apart. How anyone still buys anything GM after the W Bodies all had their strut towers rust away is perplexing to me. It's like, even if I wanted to maintain this car properly and keep it forever I really can't because it's going to disintegrate.

bmw, benz, and vw all had their fair share of rust problems in the 90s/early 2000s.
benz with their control arms rusting in half, bmws and their rear subframe mounts crumbling away.....vw you need a tetanus shot just looking at one

not defending GM because you really can't but to say the german cars aren't rusty shit from that same era is laughable

My e39 bmw that has been washed with steel wool and lived near the ocean at first, has some rust on the trunk lid but aside from that the underside of the car is just cometely rust free somehow it's mindfucking.

Japanese cars as well. My step dads 01 Camry had the suspension jump into the trunk cause the strut towers gave way due to rust while he was backing out of the garage a couple years ago.

He finally bought a new car last year. That camry was held together with hopes, dreams, zip ties, and duct tape. Engine still purred at almost 300K miles, so at least there was that.

The old Chrysler Pacifica's (not the new mini-van), also had this issue too. I think there was a lawsuit or something against DC over it.

My neighbor's nissan maxipad had this happen to them also and it wasn't that old of a maxipad.
